'Putin pays Trump,' said Republican leader Kevin McCarthy in private meeting during primaries
Republican leader of the house, Kevin McCarthy, said that "Putin pays Trump," in a recording from June 2016 published by The Washington Post.
In the tape, Mr McCarthy, then the most senior Republican in the house of representatives, states that Donald Trump - then a candidate in the primaries - was funded by the Russian president.
Paul Ryan, the house speaker, told those gathered not to leak the remarks.
When representatives for Mr McCarthy were contacted by The Washington Post, they initially denied the remarks were ever made. When The Post informed them they had obtained the tapes, the spokesperson then insisted it was a joke.
